RHBA-2015:0356 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated pyparted packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The pyparted packages contain Python bindings for the libparted library. It is
primarily used by the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation software.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the pyparted packages did not build on the ppc64le

platform. Consequently, users of the little-endian variant of IBM Power Systems
did not have pyparted available, which prevented other programs, for example
Anaconda, from working. To fix this bug, pyparted has been updated to support
the little-endian variant of IBM Power Systems, and the users now have working
pyparted packages. (BZ#1125656)

• Previously, the spec file of the pyparted packages lacked the %check section

and the BuildRequire prerequisite on the python-coverage package. As a
consequence, the pyparted test suite was not run at package build time. This
update adds the %check and BuildRequire snippets to python-coverage, and the
pyparted test suite is now run as part of the package build process.
(BZ#1057626)

Users of pyparted are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
